Macca and Azza are back in the same room after six months and there’s a lot to get through.

Time to get on that trainer or treadie for a good session while we get right down to business!

On this episode: Lionel Sanders and Jan Frodeno, Javier Gomez, Daniela Ryf and Holly Lawrence. We talk about the upcoming Super League Jersey and athletes heading to Kona in a month’s time.

Show Notes:

Medellin a potential cycling and running haven, great weather

Busy city but great tracks and trails just outside

Like NZ but cheaper, welcomes investment and foreigners

ITU Long Distance Worlds

Congrats to MaccaX member Jenna-Caer Seefried, age group world champion

Original Ironman Canada course all the greats like Peter Reid raced on

3-120-30, an ideal long distance format you can race til the finish

Lionel Sanders: Macca’s fave triathlete outside of Javier Gomez; has had the #1 season this year among the men; walked away from 70.3 Worlds to focus on Kona

Josh Amberger now working with the Trisutto group, same coach as Sarah Crowley’s

Sarah Crowley won ITU LD Worlds, has had the #1 season this year (Frankfurt, Cairns, going to Kona)

Kona

Frodeno has dodged big events; could he see Sanders as a threat?

Sanders has worked on his weaknesses, improved swim with Gerry Rodriguez

Tim Don’s 70.3 Worlds performance (3rd) was done off an Ironman build; able to drop the fast boys and strong at finish

Ben Hoffman, Brent McMahon

Kona doesn’t seem to have depth, unlike back in Macca’s day four previous champions were racing the field every year (Faris, Stadler, Crowie, Macca) plus Raelert and Chris Lieto; pressure was on defending champion to dictate the pace

Women’s side, Ryf to dominate completely with Crowley as potential challenger — could Ryf be better than Chrissie?

Ironman 70.3 Worlds

Split men’s and women’s races; great course

Ryf crushed the field mentally even before the race, was in a great headspace
